I stayed two nights at the Marvelot Hotel. With golden finials atop its towers, sweeping marble central staircase from the lobby, and an entrance flanked by lines of luxury vehicles, the Marvelot promises much.

The Executive Floor functions well for our small group discussion and receiving visitors. The cost matches the value we received. I will say I would definitely check into this hotel again, even though it is not the...
